SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Annual Early
and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and
Treatment (EPSDT) Participation
Report; Use: The collected baseline data
is used to assess the effectiveness of
state early and periodic screening,
diagnostic and treatment (EPSDT)
programs in reaching eligible children
(by age group and basis of Medicaid
eligibility) who are provided initial and
periodic child health screening services,
referred for corrective treatment, and
receiving dental, hearing, and vision
services. This assessment is coupled
with the state’s results in attaining the
participation goals set for the state. The
information gathered from this report,
permits federal and state managers to
evaluate the effectiveness of the EPSDT
law on the basic aspects of the program.

ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within
the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) is proposing an
extension with revisions to the data
collection activities conducted as part of
the National Survey of Child and
Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW III)
(Office of Management and Budget
#0970–0202). NSCAW is the only source
of nationally representative,
longitudinal, firsthand information
about the functioning and well-being,
service needs, and service utilization of
children and families who come to the
attention of the child welfare system.
This request will allow additional time
to conduct participant data collections.
Minor changes to the instruments are
requested to restore an in-person data
collection option.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: NSCAW is the only
source of nationally representative,
longitudinal, firsthand information
about the functioning and well-being,
service needs, and service utilization of
children and families who come to the
attention of the child welfare system.
The first and second cohorts of NSCAW
were initiated in 1999 and 2008,
respectively. A major objective for the
third cohort of NSCAW (NSCAW III) is
to maintain the strengths of previous
work, while better positioning the study
to address the changing child welfare
population. Phase I of NSCAW III,
approved November 2016, is complete
and included recruitment and sampling
process data collection activities. Phase
II of NSCAW III, approved July 2017,
includes baseline and follow-up data
collection activities, and panel
maintenance activities. Phase II followup data collection and panel
maintenance is still ongoing. Phase III of
NSCAW III, approved in September
2020, includes data collection on the
child welfare workforce in of
participating agencies. Phase III data
collection is complete, and analysis of
the data is ongoing.
We seek approval for an extension
with changes for the currently approved
data collection activities, which
includes follow-up data collection for
Phase II and panel maintenance
activities with NSCAW cohort members.
As part of this request we are also
proposing minor changes to the Phase II
information collection. Due to the
COVID–19 pandemic, baseline Phase II
in-person baseline data collection was
paused for 14 months, and follow-up
data collection was delayed due to the
need to retool data collection
procedures and instruments to allow for
remote administration. This request is to
extend the Phase II information
collection and to update materials to
restore the previously approved inperson mode as an option for caregiver
and child respondents.
Respondents: Children and caregivers
enrolled in NSCAW III and child
welfare agency personnel in
participating NSCAW III agencies.
Surveys and panel maintenance
responses may be obtained by
telephone, web, or in person.
